January has disappeared!

This little cherub is growing quickly, 

we got our first smiles while on grandparent duty 

(also for the first time!)


this is the flowering gum from last post fully out, 
more orange/red than red,
we are off to the nursery to find another RED one!


and this is it!
much more the colour we want, 
can't wait to see it fully out!

my tigerlillies are performing well again, 
just bought a couple of stems inside to enjoy.

one of the quilts I'm doing this year, 
these are the first 8 blocks, 
they go together pretty quick, 
its the cutting and prepping that takes so long!
nothing new will be bought for this one, 
it's a use up the stash project
won't make a dint!

this family of swans decided that it would be a good idea to cross the busy road out the front of where my MIL lives in Pakenham...
they came out of the retirement village (this photo),
waddled up the drive to the traffic lights...


where they proceeded to cross!
my heart was in my mouth literally!
all the traffic stopped for them across 4 lanes.
MIL said they do it all the time!
thankfully it wasn't very busy, usually this road is chaotic!

ok update done, off to do other stuff now!
Hope you have all enjoyed your long weekend
Happy Australia Day everyone!

What a beautiful smile, I bet your heart melted!! Beautiful flowering gums, this year seems to have been a good year for them. Great hexies. Thank goodness the swam family were safe crossing the road.
